AYA Healing Retreats offer sacred plant medicine retreats in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon
We draw upon the wealth of indigenous knowledge and healing wisdom of the Shipibo tribespeople native to this region to offer you a truly unique, authentic and life changing healing experience. We are committed to preserving the integrity of the ancient shamanic traditions and the sacred land we conduct our ceremonies on.
We work with highly respected curanderos and curanderas who have been apprenticed from a young age in healing through sacred medicinal plants and remedies such as Ayahuasca and various Master Plants. In addition to our traditional healers, each of our facilitators have experienced powerful growth and transformation through sacred plant medicines, they are available to support you in boldly going to the edge of your courage and in integrating this work once you return to the day to day routine of life in your home country.
We believe that the healing and insight we receive through working with sacred plant medicines compels us to use this newfound wisdom and compassion for good. We donate a percentage of our profits to two extraordinary NGO’s who are working to heal trauma throughout Nepal, Asia and to regenerate the Peruvian Amazon by strengthening indigenous communities to combat deforestation, discrimination and marginalisation.
We are committed to doing everything possible to guarantee your safety whilst on retreat. In addition to have a superior first aid and emergency protocol, we have partnered with the International Centre for Ethnobotanical Education, Research and Service to create a comprehensive medical screening process. Your safety and the safety of others is our first and most important priority.
If, like us, you feel called to step into a more authentic and compassionate way of being, to let go of old patterns, limiting beliefs and to create a life you love, we invite you to contact one of our remarkable facilitators now to learn more about our retreats and the life changing potential of sacred plant medicine.

Locationour home for the duration of your retreat is the Sui Sui Center. Sui Sui takes its name from the bird native to this region, the Sui Sui (Thraupis episcopus), which you can easily spot her and be enchanted by her sweet call in the early morning and evening. The centre is located on the banks of the picturesque Lake Cashibocacha, which is home to many species of birds, fish (including piranha) and monkeys. Many indigenous Shipibo communities also live around Lake Cashibocacha.
